Life

So, the past couple of weeks have been pretty turbulent. Kind of in every area of life. I can't go into too much detail here, but lets just say I've been learning that when life seems smooth, or even boring, I have to just be aware that it probably wont stay that way for very long. You can be praying for the smoothness to show itself again, but I'll also accept prayers for peace, strength and a sense of God's presence in the midst of it all. You can be praying that for some of my friends here, who I've become close with, as well. One thing I was reminded of recently is that the world around me, and even (especially??) the emotions inside of me, are always going to be fluctuating. The thing that I need to do is hold on to what I know is true, in the midst of all of that...

On a brighter note, the weather here has been amazing the past few days, and it's definitely wet my appetite for spring!! The snow is all melted, except for the few stubborn piles here and there, and the skies have been looking glorious. On Saturday I was able to get out and enjoy it, delighting in the fact that I could get away with wearing my light jacket and sunglasses. :) I also got to spend some wonderful time having lunch with my good friend Jess, and playing some cards (Canasta! :) with Michelle over pizza in the evening- all of which made the day that much better. I looked for a nice spring picture to put up here, but I was so busy loving the weather that I forgot to take a picture of it. There will be more chances for that later, I guess.

Anyways, that's all for now. Enjoy the rest of your week! I love you guys!

  1. We've had a taste of spring here too! I got to wear shorts which brought back memories of high school, the last time I wore 'em, which was cool. But then it snowed a couple more inches and got cold. So basically Cincinnati hasn't changed much. And last night right before midnight, I thought of Mr. Kentrup and how every year he would say "Are you rested? Because we have a long March ahead of us." Yay for March!

  2. Ah, I don't remember him saying that! At least my March will be a bit easier to bear with the few places I have lined up to visit. :)

  3. Ahhh...I pray that you will experience God's peace through whatever bumpy road you are on right now. And those darn emotions...up, down, high, low, swingin' right and swingin' left...I can totally relate. My verse for the week is "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He will keep your path smooth...oops....straight.
    Hang in there!!!
